1980 made-for-TV movie about a young girl who is confined to a wheelchair and passes time by visiting the local airstrip and watching the planes take off. She becomes friends with an airplane mechanic played by Howard Hesseman and as they fix the plane, she sets her sights on overcoming her disability and dreams of flying a plane all on her own, much to the chagrin of her family who think she's getting in over her head. Starring Suzy Barbieri, Bette Davis, Clu Gulager, the aforementioned Howard Hesseman, Marion Ross, Lisa Whelchel, and Rance Howard. One of Ron Howard's earlier directing roles. Very inspiring film, watch it here!

I dedicate this post to Duke (2012-2026). He was the last of my childhood pets to go :( Rest in peace, Duke... you were an amazing dog and it's so much quieter without you :cry: I hope we'll both meet again skyward one day...
